If he really is six years old it's great.

But the claim of being 6 just doesn't pass the sniff test. Have you been around any 6 year olds? Logging onto the net and playing chess is  just not something I can see a child that young doing.

I always thought being six-years-old was considered a sign of potential.

Well, I've only learnt to play last year, and I'm 1500-ish (live chess). Usually, I calc. 2-4 moves ahead intuitively, and move my pieces by saying, hey my bishop would look good on c4! True Story. Theres some 8 yr old on this site thats 1300 level, is that good?

I was 6 when I was 6.

I know he could have a false birthday, in his home page, but he doesn't try to bring any attention to it, or say anything at all for that matter.
